CAN SOMEONE BE HOMOSEXUAL AND NOT GAY?

When rapper DaBaby me unr fire for a strg of ntroversial ments about gay men and people livg wh HIV/AIDS last year, reigned a long-standg nversatn about the problem of homophobia hip-hop. While the issue has arguably improved over the last – wh queer artists like iLoveMakonnen, Kev Abstract, Frank Ocean, Big Freedia, and Lil Nas X takg a seat at the hip-hop table while beg thentic about their sexual orientatn and genr inty – anti-gay sentiment is still rife rap songs. From Emem’s repeated e of the word “f*ggot” his mic to the ubiquy of the term “no homo” the hip-hop scene the early 2000s, gay people – or at least softns and effemacy – have been the butt of the joke hip-hop culture for far too long.

In rap, where wordplay abounds, the phrase has a dual purpose, allowg rappers to sert humoro double entendr to their lyrics – all while distancg themselv om the homoerotic language. In an article for Slate, wrer Jonah Weer pots to how rappers have ed “no homo” not as a blatant exprsn of homophobia, but to show off their abily to play wh language. “A funny si effect here is that the no homo vogue doubtls enurag rappers not only to sctize everythg they say for trace gayns but to actively thk up gay double-entendr jt so that they n p them off wh no homo kickers, ” he wr.

The problem that most crics ce about the term “no homo” is that ’s ed wh the implitn that outward exprsns of emotns are somewhat lghable, as they don’t reflect tradnal ias of masculy. As such, this le of thkg, you uld say that “no homo” is not only a homophobic phrase that pok fun at other men but also has misogynistic unrton, as puts down effemate gay men and women as well. Gog back to hip-hop’s relatnship wh homophobia (and hypermasculy and misogyny), “no homo” n be pared to Emem’s ntued e of the f-slur, which he fends as not beg an easy dunk on homosexualy but a way to emasculate other men he has beef wh.

As summed up a blog published by GLSEN, “People [like Emem] may not tend to reproduce bigotry [when they e phras like “no homo” and “that’s so gay”, and “f*ggot”], but neverthels leave the door wi open for the e of anti-LGBT language – and certaly do not nounce the disturbg levels of vlence and timidatn that LGBT people, particularly stunts, face daily. In a piece for the Guardian, wrer Carmen Cz argu however that, “while the LGBTQ activist si of me unrstands the phrase’s homophobic origs and offensivens”, also has “potential for allowg greater emotnal exprsn between men. What the satiril “no homo” mem n tell about society is that, while attus towards LGBTQ people have shifted the past few years, total acceptance is still a long way off.

Bee if heterosexual men n’t even feel fortable enough to show some vulnerabily whout the fear of beg seen as a homosexual man, then ’s obv that a large chunk of society still thks that there is somethg “wrong” wh beg queer.

The phrase is generally nsired to have homophobic unrton, but more recently, the term has been ed to ment on the stggl that straight men have wh their masculy. Some heterosexual men say no homo to emphasize their sexual orientatn after sayg somethg plimentary, affectnate, or otherwise posive to another man that they worry uld be terpreted as romantic or sexual. That is, when a male rapper wrote a lyric that he thought uld be perceived as romantic toward other men, he might add no homo to the le to head off any slurs routely slung at gay men.

As someone who grew up wh a fay tranged by ternalized homophobia and transphobia, the lloquial language associated wh everyday e was somethg I didn’t thk of.

Origally ed om hip-hop culture of the 1990s, “no homo” meant to refer to when a heterosexual male says somethg that “sounds” gay, but really don’t mean to be.

Although the ncsn most cisgenr arguments make is that “no homo” allows men to exprs emotns they might prevly have been unfortable emotg, the prciple of disenanchisg an entire mory group extenuat the homophobia propagated, domantly, by whe heterosexual mal. The implitn of sayg “no homo” to jtify an emotnal exprsn suggts that beg gay is the worst possible thg to be, that emotns n only be validated if the person exprsg them clarifi that they’re heterosexual.
